Nixon
I have to say Richard Nixon when it comes to these two. Nixon at least established relations with Communist China. Johnson would have went to war

LBJ was better at grass roots politics. Coming up , he worked 14 hour days, remembered everyone's name and learned the system from the bottom up. Later , he became the consummate deal maker . But, Nixon wasn't bad - knew how to take advantage of the times, the ultimate survivor. Overall - LBJ. As smart as they were - both ruined their reputations in Vietnam.
both were highly corrupt .
Johnson by far. A very complex man highly skilled in politics.
LBJ was a master parliamentarian, and accomplished some good domestically. Too bad he inherited Vietnam.
Johnson by far.
Nixon was the consummate politician. He let the power go to his head, though. LBJ was kind of a jerk.
Johnson.
LBJ
